The optimal version doesn't work on my mac, is there any other good version that'll work better than any web version?
I know that basketball and hockey all Cups aren’t the greatest categories because they’re countdown based, but they can absolutely still be a thing, and I think it’s only fair that they should be, especially because they’re going to be a part of Any% and 100% (which I plan on doing both of, or at least definitely Any%). The reasons these would work is because of these various things you can do to save time
Making scoring cutscenes happen as little as possible, so u want to make a low amount of baskets/goals, and maybe even to be safe, for Anything you do score you may want to have coins so you get multiple points for just one cutscene.
Don’t use item shots, they pause the timer for like half a second
Grab the ball on face offs and tip offs as fast as possible
Don’t let that one cutscene in hockey happen where the goalie makes a save and the camera goes on him, it pauses the timer for roughly a second
And there’s really probably even a few others I can’t think of rn, but even just that is enough to show that it can absolutely be a thing. I hope you guys will consider it!
Also, I know I haven’t submitted any runs yet, so you may not want to take my word for anything, but I’m going to very soon, trust me

I have yet to verify this run, because at the beginning, even though his microphone is on, it doesn't sound like he's pressing keys, so he could be using a macro for just the starts? I'd like to see another mod give their thoughts on this though
I recorded that run on my school computer, and on that, I can't get obs because it takes an administrator password to download, which only the admins at the school know. So until I find one that doesn't take a password that doesn't have a watermark, that also is free forever instead of just free trial, I'm stuck with this, because I'm also not allowed to spend money on computer stuff
Basically, what I'm suggesting with this category is that you're allowed to use preserve, any glitches, and any exploits to beat the map, with the only restriction being that you have to complete the monument, so you have to get all of the wools and put them all in the chest. Preserving some of the wools out of survival, like Survival Branch Only, is also a valid way to get wools if you so choose.
Let me know what you think!
How is it possible to duplicate items in 1.7.4? I can't seem to be able to do it. On my mac, Alt+f4 isn't working for force quitting either, and even alt+fn+f4 isn't doing it.
I pretty much already know you're not going to want to add this, because it's not the kind of thing people generally add to leaderboards as a thing, but I thought I'd ask anyways.
A thing that I had an idea for, for a speed run challenge, is doing a relay of all of the Single Player Full Game Categories in a row on this map. So we would do Survival Branch Only, No Exploits, No Freebie, Glitchless (No Preserve), Glitchless (With Preserve), and Any% all in a row on the same timer. Obviously you'd need to go into a clean map file for each new part of it that you start. I'd call it the Diversity Map Master Challenge, because doing a run of this really shows that you have mastered every category of this map.
Again, I know you'll likely not want to add it, but it's just a thought. I'll likely do a run of it either way just for fun
I'm the only one who even does runs of this game anymore, but still, I'd like to be helpful for things like stuff that should be added to the rules in case this map ever increases in speed running popularity someday again (or even one other person does stuff again). I recently did a No Exploits run (which didn't have an on-screen timer, so I didn't bother submitting it), and in it, I do the Labyrinthian directly after Boss Battle. When I went through the Hedge maze, I still had the wither effect, and I accidentally damage boosted myself onto the top of the maze, just like I do on purpose in GNP Co-op. I ran right back into the maze after that, bc that's clearly an exploit, and it should be added to the rules for No Exploits that you can't damage boost onto the Hedge Maze. Plus, that'll be even more relevant if No Exploits 2 Player Co-op ever became a thing. Also, maybe you could add something saying that as long as you do get on top by accident, it's fine as long as you go right back into the maze and don't use it to your advantage.
Unlikely this information will ever be used by anyone but me anyways shrugs but whatever.
I get that you said runs with S+Q that don't show a visible timer must be rejected, and that's totally fine... but you said that was the reason for rejecting my Glitches With Preserve run, even though in that run, I never save and quit. Can you explain that?
Also, Livesplit doesn't work on my mac bc it's a mac, none of the in game timers work either because I don't have a way to download them or they don't work with macs. Would going into the files of the world after a run and looking at the playoneminute (or whatever it's called) stat count? Because at James' (the dude I do co-op with) house, he has live split, but at my house, I have yet to find a timer that works.
If I were to do more categories with 2 Player Co-op (I plan on maybe doing No Exploits, No Freebie, and Glitchless w/preserve) would you add them? I also plan on doing these categories singleplayer, FYI. Free world records :P
Obviously, I've done some co-op speed runs with my friend of this map, but I wanna know if anyone else would like to, including maybe you, Cavin856? You do have the solo WR for now (until i finally get around to submitting a solo run with the survival strat) after all, so you'd be a good person to team up with.
If I did a run of this with my friend would you add it as a category? One person does keyboard one person does mouse.
In Survival Branch only can you
- Use the Freebie Wool? and
- Use the brown wool it gives you for completing survival? You could preserve it out otherwise but in my opinion that'd be a unnecessary added annoyance. Also it'd be nice to be able to use the Freebie, but it makes sense if you can't. It doesn't save much time at all if you can use it.
Just a heads up, there is a much easier way to do the survival branch AND do the preserve glitch than the one we know of now. if you go in on creative and break through the top of the bedrock box, you'll see a button up by the command blocks at the top, and if you press it, it gives you the brown wool, teleports you, resets your gamemode, etc. The button was likely used during map making to test that it worked. If you power the block that that button is on in some way from the outside, you'll finish the survival branch.
So, here's my strategy.
- Immediately when you spawn in the survival branch, turn around, go to the tree, and get two wood.
- Craft a crafting table, one set of sticks, and a wooden button, then craft a wooden shovel.
- On your way to the bedrock box, use the shovel to grab 15 dirt and/or sand
- Go to a specific block on the right side of the bedrock box (based on where you'll be facing while running there) and block up with your 15 blocks. Place your button 1 block down from the top block of the bedrock box, and you're done! I think the block you place it on is directly in the middle of the right side, but I'm not sure because I have my own way of recognizing where to build up, and I didn't write down the coords. This strategy will be used when I finally get around to recording uploading a run.
Also, I tested the preserve glitch with this, getting a pressure plate and a redstone repeater, and it worked. I even did Survival Branch Only unrecorded and untimed just to prove it was possible with my method, and it is. Not sure I'll ever do a recorded run of Survival Branch only, but hey... maybe?
Hey all. You would have no idea who I am, but I've been doing unrecorded runs for a while on my own, and I'm planning on actually submitting some soon. My friend has also taken some interest in the map, and we started to do 2 player speedruns of the Glitchless No Preserve category. A lot of the strategy has to do with me, the much more experienced speedrunners especially for this map, being boosted by him punching me in certain areas, along with a few special strats as well. Is it possible that you could add 2 player runs to leaderboards? It'd be great to have it for all of the categories as an option, imo, but at least for glitchless no preserve and glitchless with preserve. Anyways, thanks.
